Chapter Twenty-Eight: Reaction

As soon as the words fell, Yu Fan also knew Lu Meng's intentions, so he no longer hesitated and quickly surrendered his order.

After sulking for a while, Lu Meng sat back in the main seat and calmed down, and began to think about how to break the situation next.

His eyebrows were unconsciously solemn at this time.

The original plan was to cross the river in disguise as a merchant Jia Baiyi and quietly take the public security quickly, and the two cities of Jiangling controlled the strategic location of Jingzhou.

Then divide the troops and quickly pacify the rest of the counties.

But now that the public security has taken it, it is Jiangling, who has rebelled against Nanjun Taishou Mifang, and has been seen through the plan, and the plan has fallen short, resulting in the fact that now they can only attack.

"Now that Huo Yi has also used means to recruit Cao soldiers to defend the city, it will be even more difficult to break the city."

"If Jiangling is not down, the follow-up plan of Pingjing will not be able to carry out full power......"

Thinking of this, Lu Meng's face became more and more sad, and he muttered: "That's right~ Then Huo Yi migrated away from his family in advance, what about Yiling?" Could it be that the garrison has already been strengthened? ”

As soon as he thought of this, he suddenly had an ominous feeling in his heart, and thought: "Yiling is the transportation hub connecting Jingzhou and Yizhou. ”

"If you can't get hold of this place, then once the military intelligence of the attack on Jing reaches Shuzhong, Liu Bei will inevitably raise troops to come to the east to help."

"At present, our side has not captured the state capital Jiangling, and it is difficult to quickly determine the counties and counties, and if the Shu army reinforces it, the chances of winning will be even smaller~"

After thinking for a long time, Lu Mengti wrote on the silk on the desk, and after the pen and ink were dried, he wrapped it in a letterbox and handed it to the attendant on the side, solemnly instructed:

"You quickly support a leaf flat boat and submit this letter to Wu Hou along the east of the river, be sure to remind you to act according to what the general said in the letter, otherwise, when Guan Yu's main force comes back to help, everything will be a failure!"

"Obey the general's orders,"

The guard took the letter and put it away, and quickly threw his fist into a fist.

After seeing him leave the tent, Lu Meng's expression became serious again, "If you want to capture Jingzhou this time, you can only take the siege and then compete with the logistics support capabilities of both sides." ”

"But before that, we must seize Yiling, cut off Yizhou's aid, and block Guan Yu's army north of Jiangjindu."

With that, he slammed his fist on the desk with a serious expression.

Just when Lu Meng's side was painstakingly thinking about the follow-up plan, the city had already trained soldiers at this time.

"Ha, ha~"

In the old city, the various units of Cao's soldiers who assisted in defending the city were assembled in a military formation, holding weapons in hand, and practicing the cooperation of the phalanx.

Huo Yi stood straight on the platform of the school field, and the whole figure swept over from a distance, the eight-foot body with a handsome face, which only made people feel heroic and extraordinary.

This old city can have a huge military academy, and it is thanks to Guan Yu that after the expansion of the new city, all the soldiers and people in the city moved to the south of the city to live.

The old city was then completely transformed into a military fortress to serve as the first line of defense against enemy attacks.

Looking at the drills of Cao Bing's various units, Huo Yi's expression became more and more solemn, and he said in a deep voice, "Although the cooperation between the battle formations is very close, the military discipline is too loose~"

This was also discovered by assisting in defending the city, so he took advantage of this truce to transfer the elite backbone of the Huo family's army under his command to train Cao Bing.

"The so-called strong army must first be rewarded for merit, punished for mistakes, and rewarded and punished for believing.

Huo Yi also knew very well that almost all of these prisoners of war were Qingzhou soldiers recruited by Cao Cao back then, and they were originally from the Yellow Turban Yu Party, and they were used to loose military discipline.

When he arrived under Cao Ying, he often plundered the people and did not have many constraints.

But Huo Yi, as a person of later generations, naturally does not agree with such an elite person.

Even if the army can fight again, it will not obey the military order and go to the battlefield, once the battle situation falls into a disadvantage, it will form a rout, and there is no combat power at all.

"Let's see if I can practice it this time, if I can make Cao Bing completely use it for my use, maybe even if the main force doesn't come back to help, I can command my troops to kill the people who broke the Wu army."

Huo Yi looked at the top of the school field, and secretly groaned in his mind.

During the period of stalemate between the two sides, the counties also spread the news of the Zhijiang massacre.

Especially on the land on the north bank of the river, the voice is the highest, and the people in Zhouling, Maicheng, Dangyang and other places are all gathered to discuss.

"Have you heard about it, I heard that the Wu army that fought under Jiangling City a few days ago has slaughtered Zhijiang City in the west?"

"Huh? Really slaughtered? ”

"Then there can be a fake, I heard that Zhijiang is very miserable~ The villagers were killed and the corpses were rolling, and even the Nanzhang River did not flow~"

"I thought it was a rumor, but I didn't expect it to be true?"

"From this point of view, the Wu people are also the same as Cao Jun, and they are all beasts with human faces and beast hearts!"

"You're too optimistic, but have you forgotten that when Jiangxia Taishou was still Huang Zu, Jiangdong raised troops to conquer and slaughter all over the country several times?"

"Is it that Zhou Yu and Lu Meng didn't kill when they were in command of the soldiers in Jiangdong?"

"It seems like this, that's right~"

"According to this, now that there is no Lu Su and Zhou Yu's constraints, the nature of the Wu people has been exposed again?"

"Since I fled here with Uncle Liu Huang, I have lived a stable life for more than ten years."

"I didn't expect that now I want to be broken by the brutal and unkind Wu people!"

"Yes, yes~ Who else in this world can be more benevolent and righteous than the soldiers and horses under the command of the king of Hanzhong?"

"If the king of Hanzhong is in charge of Jingzhou, we can still live a stable life, and if we let the Wu thieves seize it, I am afraid that there will be no way to live."

The massacre of the Wu army on the north bank of Nanjun was spread in advance, and the impact was the deepest, and then in a short period of time, even Yidu County in the west, the public security on the south bank of the river, and the counties in Jiangnan were also discussed.

Almost in just a few days, the killing of the Wu army has made Jingxiang known to everyone and ruined.

Wu army camp, inside the main tent.

Lu Meng crumpled these military reports in his hand, and his face was as angry as if he was about to breathe fire, looking at Pan Zhang, who was kneeling on the ground, as if he was about to skin him alive.

"It's all good to look at it, this is the sin you created this time~"

After a half-mutter, Lu Meng only felt tightness in his chest, and threw the military newspaper crumpled into a paper ball on his head, and shouted loudly.

"Before the general sent out his troops, he told him that this attack on Jing is different from the past, and our army must not make a vain killing and lose the heart of the people of Jingxiang."

"Now that this matter comes out, the plan that has been running people's hopes for many years will be completely in vain."

"The people's hearts have been lost, how can our army talk about enterprising Jingzhou?"

With an angry scolding that covered his head and face, he trembled with anger but was still angry.

Pan Zhang knelt on the ground, didn't even dare to raise his head, bowed his head and said nothing.

Zhu Ran, the general on the side, was a little suspicious when he heard the news, "General Lu, the matter of Zhijiang has only been a few days and Mr. Yu has gone to appease him, why did it spread all over the territory so quickly?" ”
